I may have done something wrong during my last week's WC 
One of the clowns is lying on the sand bed most of time and breathing fast, not eating for more than 3 days.
What I did:
1). Attempted to raised PH (was 7.7 before) on 29g biocube by dripping Pickling Limes (1/2 ts) over a period of 8 hrs.
2). a pinch of pickling limes in 5g new water. sitting 8 hrs and PH was 8.4.
I also placed a clean cotton cloth (from anundry) to filter out debris. I washed it with fresh water and saltwater before placed in. However after filtering I did notice that the sump has a more bubbles, more like the result of residual detergent. After the WC the bubble looks back to normal.
The rest of items in tank looks ok: frogspawn / candy cane / acan coral, blue tang, coral beauty, Cardinal / one clown.
KH was 10 and after WC 9. Calcium always over 500mg/l.
Can the clown be saved?
